Now if only Google would care to look for spammers for the same term in the US index.

Well they must be more worried about chasing down guys trying to make living doing things the right way.

Amazing how the said site's tactic is so publicized yet their rankings still perserve at this very moment.

yep Kevin it kinda sucks. makes you almost want to join the dark side. :p Really though you can find at least one blatant spammer in about every money term going...maybe MC and team leave a few in there for job security?

How can people name a folder 'Google' and get away with it? *sigh* I guess it's like PCworld having a folder called SEO: link

How is the situation in the US? I work for a client in a niche somewhat related and doing backlink audits 95% of competitor links are paid, Money expert doing DP spam isn't the only one spammning believe you me.

@Dudibob, while I'm sure it makes Google take a look (and i can't see them not banning them soon) PCWorld are doing a completely good thing, just because they decided to call it "seo" is irrelevant, its standard white hat procedures, whether they name it "seo" or not!

@willneu, it's not the fact that they blantently do SEO that annoys me, just the fact it's so sloppy, instead of SEO, they could call it 'laptops', get away with it and benefit them. Bit like Money Expert naming a folder Google, call it insurance, make it less obvious.
